Using a shabby-treated wooden frame, this artwork employs the Gyotaku pictorial technique, where a real fish or cephalopod is inked and pressed onto Japanese paper to create a detailed imprint. Nadia Auleta’s works celebrate the Mediterranean Sea’s catch, focusing on traditional prey like fish, octopus, and bream.
